Hello, thought I'd post my 1st picture of my new GRY, it's an understatement to say I'm loving this car, it's absolutely mind blowing, that acceleration through 2nd & 3rd is addictive, getting it round tight A road turns is amazing, it's just pure driving pleasure.
It had already the SW motorsport lowered seat base, I've fitted the rear view mirror riser and have the spacershop steering wheel spacer on order thanks to the info from some members on here. 👍
Up at 5:30am this morning to take advantage of some North Wales best roads while away with the family for a few days.
Here's to an amazing summer and many miles around the Yorkshire Dales.

Congratulations on a good choice of car.
I am also a Yorkshire dales driver starting at Settle then up past Ribblehead Viaduct then over Buttertubs, Tan hill pub for coffee then back down past Kilnsey cragg and back to skipton. This car was made for those roads and I am regularly on those roads for the 7 months when the sun is out and the roads are surprisingly empty.
Just a fantastic drive on winding country "b" roads.
 
Thanks. I will check that route out when I get back, I wanted to get up to Hawes so that ticks that box. I had a blast up past kilnsey a few days ago and loved it, so much to do it that car around our local area. Thanks for the heads up.

Will go on a roadtrip to Wales early June with my wife for my 50. birthday- the goal is to experience as many of these roads as possible… 😎

Wow, I checked this route on Maps and it's amazing... :love: I envy you so much! And I've got to be back to living in the UK, I knew it :D
 
Yorkshire Dales are some cracking roads, the Buttertubs pass from Devils Bridge is very nice. You do have to watch out for Police though as it’s also popular with bikers

Please also note they drive on the left ;)

Not entirely kidding, you need to remind yourself all the time, especially after a nice break or a nights sleep, and also retrain your reflexes to aim for the left when meeting an oncoming car...

🤣 - but also not kidding : I actually already told my wife that she will need to yell at me if her bottom isn’t in the middle of the road….
